Melbourne storm have secured a 'home' final - home in this case being Suncorp Stadium - with a big win over the WestsTigers but Craig Bellamy has defensive and injury worries heading into the business end of the season | phillutton78 SMHsport NRL
Melbourne uncharacteristically took their eyes off the prize to allow the Tigers within 10 points thanks to rapid-fire tries to Asu Kepaoa and Adam Doueihi . That coincided with the departures of Kenny Bromwich and Suliasi Vunivalu , who had already crossed twice.
"We thought we were the Harlem Globetrotters. That's not in our playbook. We need to play to our system," Bellamy said.Then the mood changed, for Smith at least. The evergreen hooker crossed for his 47th career try and celebrated as if he'd just won another grand final. He was mobbed by teammates and gestured in defiance to Bellamy, whose career try record had just been surpassed by his captain.
